Artist Information

Gabrielle Cavassa

Born in Escondido, California, of Italian descent, Gabrielle Cavassa began obsessively listening to records from a young age. Largely self taught, she developed a unique approach to singing that would later characterise her artistry.

 

Cavassa received a Bachelor of Arts in Music from San Francisco State University, but credits the San Francisco Bay Area music scene for her real education in jazz. She moved to New Orleans in 2017, where she continued to develop her craft in local clubs. In 2020, Cavassa independently released a self-titled debut record produced by collaborator Jamison Ross.

 

She was ushered into the spotlight through her 2023 collaboration with saxophonist Joshua Redman on his Blue Note Records album where are we, after being crowned a winner of the International Sarah Vaughan Jazz Vocal Competition in 2021.

 

Cavassa leads a quartet ahead of her debut Blue Note record, set to release in Spring 2026.
